why snow falls in simla and kashmir, why not in ooty?

Answer 1

Ooty is situated at a lower altitude than simla & kashmir.

Moreover both Simla & Kasmhir are situated either between the ranges or at the foot of the great Himalayas. So the moist wind gets obstracted there, which causes a snowfall in high altitudes & rainfall in lower altitudes. The north west monsoon mainly causes the snowfall as it comes from cold Middle east.The obstraction of this NEM causes snowfall in Kashmir & Simla.

Western Ghats are not as high as the Himalayas. Moreover when the NEM arrives in Western Ghats, they have already lost the last traces of moisture that they contained.

That is why snowfall does not occur in Ooty.
